Słodka x Zatta is a multidisciplinary practice at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and landscape design. Our vision is based on valuing the often overlooked qualities of existing environments and striving to maximise the reuse of available material and immaterial resources. Our project approach is inherently site-specific, involving the adaptation of existing spaces, the repurposing of materials and the active engagement with local communities. Guided by these principles, a significant portion of our work revolves around themes such as post-industrial transformation, innovative living-working typologies, urban manufacturing, and the development of productive areas. We view urban plans and architecture as processes rather than finished products, always able to adjust, and grow or shrink over time.
As a spatial practice, we are active on different fronts: design proposals, research projects, knowledge dissemination through exhibitions, workshops and public talks, and teaching endeavours. This variety of activities has allowed us to connect with a network of like-minded experts and designers, both in The Netherlands and abroad, and together advocate for the productive city as a more inclusive, adaptive, dynamic and just city.
